    I think his pedophile cave submarine had enough Tony Stark pizazz to get us there had he not had to waste it saving all those Thai children.

    It's been several years and he's done things a thousand times worse, but him calling that dude a pedophile on Twitter was so wild. You have to be an absolute child to use an insult like that when someone politely declines your assistance.

    That should have been a huge indicator that Elon don't think like smart person. Elon's "evidence" where he questioned why a British person would live in Thailand if not for sexually abusing children. Hmmmmmm, the guy was obsessed with caves so maybe it was the cave systems and not Thai children that inspired the move?!?!

    Hard Drive dunked on him so bad he deleted the initial tweet. Elon got ratio'd by a fucking vidya game satire Twitter account like three times.

    is there any doubt that Elon is going through the worst and thus most hilarious mid-life crisis of written history?

    “Wokism is a lie” is just another way of saying “I’m a racist”.

    Seriously, just out and out “race realism” from the world’s richest man.

    We’re living in strange times where Elon’s sad attempt at trying to take credit for a meme it’s clear he didn’t create has done more damage to his public image than anything else that’s occurred during this glorious downward spiral.

    It’s a sign he might be growing up for not personally wanting credit for VLC being adaptable to so many different file formats.

    Being completely inflexible in today's environment is beyond stupid. I'm sure Tesla pays well so they'll have the ability to demand things like this, but I don't think they play well enough for people in LA that would rather work remotely for silicon valley companies that have remote working and a ton of tech companies are moving into LA too.

    Had a call with a client that is 30 miles NE of Atlanta and they wanted to bring talent on-site vs remotely. At best, we told them they could get someone there once a week or so.

    it didn't go bankrupt because they cooked the books

    edit -

    i wanted to add clarity here because i'm not trolling. i 100% believe tesla committed fraud but we live in an era of toothless regulatory bodies and, coupled with oligarch-like wealth, nothing did or will happen. no idea if they are still are fraudulent or where things have gone since early 2020 but things in late 2019 were definitely bullshit.

    these are old - back when Gallant Knight and everyone else was shorting TSLA - but it's a good summary of how the books didn't follow logic.

    https://seekingalpha.com/article/43...es-narrative-not-hold-up-to-scrutiny#comments

    https://www.ft.com/content/1c5c83c0-43fe-4043-82ae-22b4865ae99c

    there's a reason why some of the most successful investors in history (and say what you will about their intelligence or whatever) were all bearish on tesla. i think there's a reason why tesla's cfo "retired" (but is currently a cfo elsewhere) and the company replaced him with a 34-year old with like six years of experience.
